I need adsvice re my ds and a so called friend...

[jo25]

Hope i poste din the right place, My ds 5.5 started school in Sept and very quickly formed a close relationship with another child, almost to the point of this other child being totally dependent on my DS (not something i encourage).

Anyway DS is having a film and pizza with another friend on Friday night(previously arranged) and other "friend" has heard the boys talking about it and said to my DS if he doesn't invite him he is going to punch him really hard next week . My ds has now said he wants to invite him as well, to which i said no way and explained the resaons behind this, Not giving into bullying etc.

the question is what do i do about it, do i ignore it, speak to teachers or parents? At the moment i am s bloody angry and hormonal i could rip said childs head of! I nee dto apply some logic, pleas help.

Thanks for reading and keeping up.

Similar thing happened to my son, who had a dependent friend who was hitting him.

I told DS he was to say to this friend that he was not allowed to play with him if he hurt him. The next morning in the playground I heard him say to his friend, and that was that.

Because it is out of school I don't think you can the teachers, and I'd wait to see if there's anymore threats before approaching the parents. Monitor it for yourself if you can, but I think what you have said is right. Perhaps have the boy round for tea another time so you can monitor how he is with your DS?
